Nebbiolo $15.99
Barolo, Italy
2.5 stars
This wine is very fruity and has aromas of herbs and tannins. The wine itself is dark and rich and fruity. It finishes very dry with a lot of tannins. It is also slightly heavy bodied and really coats your tongue and mouth. Also has a tar like aftertaste.
Nebbiolo is a varietal that is used to make Italys most famous wine varietals Barbaresca and Barolo. This grape is massively structured and adamantly tannic when young. Nebbiolo can simply close your palatte down and cause your taste buds to shrink away. With age, nebbiolo becomes a delicious combination of suppleness and power. Nebbiolo has particular flavors and aromas of tar, violets, and often a rich espresso-like bitterness. Very little Nebbiolo is planted outside of Italy.
